Critical reception

Park Byeongwoon of Music Y reviewed "Just like the flow of Stream of Consciousness, their previous album, The Borderline Between Hope and Despair also leaves a strong and faint lingering feeling as if it were poking the lungs."[4] The member of the selection committee for the Korean Music Awards Hong Jeongtaek described the album as "The Borderline Between Hope and Despair is a heavy resonance album with maturity, reflection, and a bit of romance", and the album won Best Modern Rock Album.[3]
